Hey Everybody, Beyonce Can Actually Sing the National Anthem

The Best Manti Te’o Jokes on Twitter
Have you been on Twitter lately? It's really just a repository for Manti Te'o jokes.

The Best of the ‘Tommy Lee Jones Is Grumpy Cat’ Memes
Tommy Lee Jones was not amused by Will Ferrell's hijinks at last night's Golden Globes. And he was the only one. On the one hand, look at him -- he's ancient. Let him laugh or not laugh whenever he wants or doesn't want to. On the other hand, BWAHAHA he looks just like Grumpy Cat.

Video of Mouse Being Released Into Wild Doesn’t End Well
We commend these guys for humanely trapping and releasing a mouse. Too bad their plan backfired so very, very quickly. Seconds after being set loose in a field, a hawk swoops up and grabs it. Their reaction is priceless. So much hard work for nothing...
